Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2019-20

Interesting that he's described as a fire hydrant, front of the net PP type guy here yet he leads the OJHL in scoring... in any event, he sounds like a very solid two way player...for our "committee"

....actually, he’s 2nd in scoring WS but he does lead in Goals. I like the description of a fire hydrant in the Bumper position on the PP. As a smaller player in that position I think of Brayden Point of Tampa. Now, if only...........

Goals are all that count. (Just kidding.)

I was trying to understand that abbreviated write up, because when I think of the bumper I think of the high slot (Point, Bergeron, etc.) while I think of the fire hydrant role as being anchored in the low slot and embodied by one of the top players to play it, Tim Kerr. Every time we bring in a pretty big guy (e.g. Jaren Burke, Ryan Mahshie) I hope they can fill that latter function. Unfortunately, that really hasn't been the strength of any of our recent recruits and the game has tended away from the "park someone at the top of the crease" approach. If Gagnon can do either job (and I'd agree at his size the high slot position makes more sense) more power to him.

Speaking of Tim Kerr, I think back to the one and only time I went to a hockey game at MSG. I've been there for multiple college hoops games and those crowds were loudly into the game, but nothing compared to the people up in the balcony for hockey. I was in town for business and bought a ticket in the front row from a scalper for a Flyers- Rangers game. Every time there was a face-off with Kerr on the ice the leather-lunged "gentleman" sitting next to me would stand up and announce in a booming voice that could reach the entire arena that Kerr engaged in intimate relations with his own mother. The usher, standing less than 10 feet away in the tunnel never moved. I had no rooting interest in either team, but I can only imagine what would have happened if someone in a Flyers jersey (another team well known for the dignity of its fans) was nearby.

Keep hoping that Finn Brown stays our recruit. Having read reports on him at neutral Zone (which I can't post), he could fill that role admirably.

It figures, he commits and he isn’t a scorer anymore. 10 minutes in penalties before today and 16 minutes today.

RL's scoring has picked up since early November. Only one assist before that. Hopefully, it will continue to improve.

In the overtime period, Lauri Sertti sped forward and tucked home the game winning goal while falling down. The goal would be the Amarillo defenseman’s fifth tally of the season.

Edit: LS was given an assist on Amarillo's 1st goal. He now has a line of 29-5-10-15-39.
